How strong is this? I have three very large dogs. (I'd only be walking one at a time, but it needs to last)

I'm not sure if the stripes will hold good on a very large dog. The stripes are the most essential part and they are a bit thin and I don't think they get thick enough at a larger size. For light weights, for example 1 kilo on each side, you can try.

I put 2lb or 5 lb weights in my dogs backpack one on each side if it is not full of water bottles and food. It has held up and ive had it about a year already. It has also gotten wet and that did not damage it.

We have 2 70 lb dogs and tie them to this. it's held up very well. my only suggestion is be sure to put it far enough in the ground and be sure it's in there solid (if the ground is wet there is some play in it, but it's held up so far!

It is the sturdiest of the ones I have purchased for my dogs. It also has a harness that the bags detach from so that at rest stops you can remove the load from your dog as you would your backpack. It would hold sufficient weight for your dog. Please remember that your dog should carry no more than 25% of it's body weight and if you have never used one on your dog, you will need to build the weight up slowly over time.

I walked my 20 pound malti-poo with my cattle dog mix (70 pounds) and it was doable but the bigger dog pretty much dragged the little one everywhere. It really depends on how good of a walker the big one is - which mine isn't the greatest. Hope this helps a little bit.

It's quite strong when assembled correctly. The sides would crack before they'd collapse. It's more of a hard resin instead of the "laundry basket" type of plastic that many crates are made of. That's why I bought this crate. I cannot imagine dogs escaping if it's assembled the right way. It's very sturdy and durable. I hosed mine out this morning since my dog is being spayed today and it was a breeze. Both ends are wire mesh so it's easy to do and dries quickly.

Let me preface I am no dog trainer or expert. I use it on a 28 pound beagle and never used it over the 4 setting with great results. I have tested all 8 setting on my leg and ultimately I think even the 1 setting would be too strong for a 12 pound dog. I know that at a local retailer they wouldn't sell it to a lady with a 15 pound dog...

I think they'll pull just as much on this one. Mine are only 45 pounds each, but they still pulled - and I got more tangled in this leash than I do when I use separate leashes (they didn't get as tangled with each other, but I don't really care so much about that). They almost tripped me several times because one would circle around behind me, and you can't untangle this as easily as you can separate leashes.

My husband uses it with are two chirachra dogs in basket. He's 259 dogs are 12 and 15 lbs.They just love it. Husband goes all over on it. I purchased for myself because I had new knee's put in but I also have eye problems and can't balance it very well.

We have 2 (110lb) Dobermans. We bought two bike tow leashes, one to attach to each side of the rear axle on my husband's enormous 32 inch Cruiser style bike. He attaches one dog to each side, and they tow HIM at about 5-8 mph for 2-3 miles. Every day. My husband doesn't get much exercise, but we've worn out 2 brake units. And the dogs...are in magnificent shape. Thank you, Bike Tow Leash people! Indispensable for exercising large dogs properly.

A large dog would have no problem stepping over this. My gate lasted a week it was not made very well.

My Labradoodle was about the same weight and age when I started using the gentle leader. It helped me walk her a lot better, in fact, I still use it today and she's now 8yrs old and at 107lbs. She's normally calm, sweet, and very loving BUT also a very strong dog. She can probably yank my arm out of its sockets if she tries to run after a squirrel. The gentle leader helped me then and still helps now. Your dog will always kind of resist when you put it on, but they do get used to it. Make sure you follow the directions for the fit.

I have a 75lb lab mix on this and it's fine. He doesn't pull much though. I think if your dog is going to be pulling it a lot it won't hold him.

It is very sturdy! I have three small dogs and I split 1 cup between all three dogs.

It is pretty strong. I use it to keep a lab puppy from going down the stairs. She is about 25 lbs now. It is on carpet and when she jumps up on it, it stay put. If you keep it on a smooth hard surface it would probably move if the dog jumps on it a lot but I doubt it would come apart. It is very versatile and has saved my sanity with a very active puppy.

It is very strong with 3 locks! I have a hyper jack Russell and she doesn't get out. She weighs 20lbs. Hope this helps!

It's very sturdy. I can stand and walk on it no problem and my son is 105 lbs and he tides bikes and skateboards on it. It would certainly hold a large dog.
